Are you currently frustrated because you're busting your @$$ trying to build upper body muscle only to find that day in and day away, despite all of your efforts... nothing's happening? You look in the reflection on a daily basis for a hint of definition and size only to see... nothing's transformed. No big guns, no V-shaped back, protruding delts, bulging pecs, or poppin' abs. Are you ready to find out why it's not working?

Let me ask you this. What really does your exercise routine to build your upper body seem like? How many days a week do you work out. How aggressive are you when you're lifting? Would you use proper techniques by lifting with slower managed moves?

How is your eating? How many calories do you consume? What food do you eat to make upwards those calories? How often do you eat?

Ok, now here is the grand daddy of all the questions, the "big Kahuna" to building chest muscles muscle. When do you work your lower body?

What? Are you thinking at this point if I've lost my brain? Our company is after all talking about building the very best 50 percent of the body... to which I agree that sure we are. But I would also respond by saying that you need to work your lower body to maximize the final results you are going for in your upper body.

Not necessarily having to work your lower body is the number one myth to building upper body muscle. Weight lifters who repeated the gym hit the weights hard and heavy doing pull-ups, bicep curls, rows, bench press, etc ., but forgo the immutable masters that are huge contributors to adding bulk in the upper muscle in their body. Individuals would be squats, lunges, clean and jerk, and deadlifts. Here's technology right behind it in simple layman's talk...

Lower body work encompasses the large muscle groups being the quads, hammies, and glutes. By simply working these huge muscles, and working them hard, you increase and maximize the production of the anabolic hormone testosterone. And it is that hormone that is the most effective in building muscle. Since hormones flow throughout the body, those produced by the lower half help when if you're trying to add mass and build up the muscles in your chest muscles, back, bis, tris, lats, shoulders, and so forth Not working those muscles, for lack of a much better description holds back the ability for upper part of the body to get the most out of your effort.

So the next time you're in the gym working hard trying to build your torso muscle, make sure you throw in one or more lower body exercise too. Become sure to work those lower body muscles just as hard as you work the very best half of your body so you might have the broad chest, wide shoulders, and V-back together with the big guns for the ultimate upper body.
